Greentube launches Cash Connection – Golden Sizzling Hot with guaranteed Winning Spins
Greentube, the NOVOMATIC Interactive division, has launched Cash Connection
– Golden Sizzling Hot
on 14th July 2026. The new title extends the supplier’s Cash Connection
series and introduces a gold-themed variant with updated bonus mechanics.
Cash Connection
– Golden Sizzling Hot
is played on a 5×3 grid with five win lines. Landing six or more disc symbols triggers a Lock & Spin feature, with access to four jackpots across the game and two bonus prizes. The Grand Jackpot can be triggered by landing 15 discs during the feature, which also ends the round.
Greentube said the Mini and Minor jackpots are tied to a separate Winning Spins feature. In this mode, played on a different set of reels without disc symbols, “every spin is a guaranteed win,” according to the company.
Richard Ganster, Director of Games Strategy and Games Portfolio Management at Greentube, said: “Cash Connection
has grown into one of our most consistently popular game families, and Golden Sizzling Hot
shows exactly why we keep coming back to expand it.
The Lock & Spin feature has always been a strong draw for players, but what really sets this edition apart is the guaranteed Winning Spins feature. Landing a Mini or Minor jackpot doesn’t just add a cash value; it opens the door to a round where every spin wins, and that’s a great incentive for players.
“Giving the game a golden makeover was about more than just a new look. It’s part of how we keep our most established franchises feeling fresh, and Golden Sizzling Hot
is a great example of that balance between familiarity and evolution.”

Habanero releases Galaxy Babies slot with Black Hole Wild blocks
Habanero has launched Galaxy Babies, a new 5×3 slot released on 14 July 2026, built around a Black Hole mechanic that randomly drops blocks of Wild symbols onto the reels.
The game runs on 25 paylines. In the base game, the Black Hole can appear at random and “warp in” Wild symbol blocks across the reels. Habanero said Wilds in the title are only triggered through the Black Hole feature.
A free spins mode triggers when three or more Scatter symbols land, with up to 50 free spins available and retriggers during the bonus round. In free spins, Habanero said the Black Hole “grows,” creating larger 3×3 and 4×4 Wild blocks.
Galaxy Babies also supports Habanero’s Jackpot Race
, Buy Feature and Super Bet, which the supplier said gives operators options when configuring the game for different player preferences. The release follows recent titles including Happy Hatchlings, Nuwa Deluxe and Steampunk Plinko.
Toni Karapetrov, Head of Corporate Communications at Habanero, commented: “Galaxy Babies is a title with a lot of personality and a mechanic that delivers real impact. The Black Hole Wild is simple to understand but creates moments that feel genuinely exciting.
“It is a game that will appeal to a broad range of players, and we are looking forward to seeing how it performs across our operator network.”
